Political Radio,
RIGHT
SIDE PATRIOTS Craig
Andresen and Diane Sori discuss Crimes, Pensions, and Andrew McCabe;
Things Liberals Do Not Want to Talk About; and important news of the
day.

Last week Attorney General Jeff
Sessions finally had the guts to do the right thing and fire former
F.B.I. Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and doing so but a mere 26 hours
before he would have received full retirement benefits...benefits
McCabe assumed were safely his after having been with the F.B.I. for
over two decades during which time he worked his way up the chain of
command, now retiring from his number two position just this past
January 29th...but thankfully oh how wrong he was.

Fired based upon reports from the FBI's
Office of Professional Responsibility, the nonpartisan Office of the
Inspector General that just happens to be headed by Obama appointee
Michael E. Horowitz...and upon the recommendation of the Department’s
senior career official, Andrew McCabe's downfall was of his own doing
for he took it upon himself to initiate "unauthorized releases" of
information to a news reporter about the F.B.I.'s ongoing
investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server
while she held the position of Secretary of State.

However, the fact is that the F.B.I. rarely if ever
shares information regarding any ongoing investigation with any in
the media let alone shares with anyone what's deemed to be “specific
and sensitive” information. And it was just that sort of
information which was found in a Wall Street Journal
article...information they would not have known about or been privy to unless it was
directly given to them...information that was never meant for public
dissemination.

And to compound the issue, McCabe, who
when questioned by investigators while under oath, deliberately lied,
yes lied as in committed perjury,about his involvement
or what he perceived to be his lack thereof in this oh so sorted
matter. Aided by the liberal Trump-hating media who tried to downplay
if not outright 'whitewash' his involvement by simply reporting that
McCabe “lacked candor” in both his official testimony and
his interactions with investigators examining his media disclosures,
McCabe thought by his retiring when he did...as in before the final
F.B.I. report came out...meant that he was as the say, home free.
Remember, Andrew McCabe never in his wildest dreams thought that AG Jeff
Sessions would have the guts to fire him...let alone did he ever
think that his pension would be taken away even if he did.

But the question is, were McCabe's pension monies and benefits actually taken away as said sympathizers in both parties and many in
the media claim they were?

The answer to that is a resounding 'no'
for the truth is that Andrew McCabe's pension was not taken away, it is just being delayed. And while key Democrats should know this as
fact....no matter their now claiming otherwise...so should the
Republicans who both sympathized with and cried fowl for McCabe known
this as fact. And these Republicans include but are not limited to
Pennsylvania Rep. Charlie Dent who said that AG Sessions needed to
“have the guts” to say no to President Trump regarding the
firing of Andrew McCabe as it looked to be nothing but a "vindictive"
move by the president to which he added that he believed Sessions was
"browbeaten" into firing McCabe after weeks of
public humiliation from Trump.

And then there's Republican Florida
Senator Marco Rubio who upon hearing about McCabe's firing said not
only should AG Jeff Sessions not have fired McCabe, but who on last
Sunday's Meet the Press said that, “He should've been allowed to
finish through the weekend.”

And to both men and
any others in McCabe's corner I say "no, you are absolutely wrong" as McCabe
being allowed to retire on the date of his choosing...as in after
last weekend...would have seen his full pension given to him without
even a delay as punishment. In other words, without even a slap on
the wrist for such a grievous wrong he alone committed, albeit with
help from any number of his assorted fellow swamp and Deep State dwellers.

And
Andrew McCabe's response to said firing and to the pension
issue...the only issue that truly concerns this greedy and oh so
corrupt swamp dweller...were but empty bloviations. Saying in a
statement that, "Here is the reality: I am being
singled out and treated this way because of the role I played, the
actions I took, and the events I witnessed in the aftermath of the
firing of James Comey," McCabe knows well that his firing
has only to do with his own malfeasance just like he knows as fact
that as one of the 2,2 million federal employees his pension is
subsidized, insured, and guaranteed him by we taxpayers. So, his
playing the victim will not work for
McCabe knows that he remains eligible for federal retirement benefits
and that he will not now or in the future lose the entirety of what
would have been a $1.8 million pension if he had retired at a later
date.

How
so...know that in his number two position at the F.B.I., McCabe was
more than just a bit familiar with the requirements in the Federal
Employees Retirement System (FERS) and how federal employees become
“vested” after
five years of federal service. And he is well “vested”
as serving in the F.B.I. since
1996...meaning his “accruals”
cannot be taken away...they can be delayed but not permanently taken
away. So the four Democratic lawmakers lining up to hire McCabe for the federal job that they think could get him over the retirement "hump" are either as delusional as he is or are just plain oblivious to how government pensions work.

And here's an
interesting little side note...when Andrew McCabe began working for
the F.B.I. in New York in 1996, where he was assigned to investigate Russian organized
crime...the Russians come back to haunt I'd say.

But I
digress...while Andrew McCabe will indeed lose his eligibility to a special
“top-up” in the
benefit formula...all this means is that he will not gain access to
what's known as "early pension recovery" at age 50...McCabe is now 49 and a half...but he still will gain
access to said pension between the ages of 57 to 62...which is the
standard federal retirement period. And being that McCabe is already
a multi-millionaire in his own right, this crying about his pension
makes him, to be perfectly honest, look just another D.C. greedy
politician crying over his self-perceived just deserts being in his
mind erroneously taken away.

And
what this all translates into is the fact that Andrew McCabe's pension
benefits will (unfortunately) still be waiting for him when he’s
legally allowed to retire...at age 57. In fact, as per legal affairs
columnist Debra
Roth, “If you are not eligible for an
immediate annuity at the time of termination, you do not lose your
eligibility for a “deferred” annuity just like any other federal
worker who leaves federal service short of being fully eligible to
collect a retirement annuity. Your annuity will be deferred until you
reach the age eligibility to collect a deferred annuity.”

And
that statement alone should stop the media and his supporters from
trying trying to paint Andrew McCabe as the targeted victim of what
they call "early pension denial" simply because of the rightful nature
of his firing.

In fact, as stated in 5
U.S.C. §8412(d)(2): “an employee who is separated
from the service, except by removal 'for cause' on charges of
misconduct or delinquency...after becoming 50 years of age and
completing 20 years of service as a law enforcement officer, member
of the Capitol Police or Supreme Court Police, firefighter, nuclear
materials courier, or customs and border protection officer, or any
combination of such service totaling at least 20 years...is entitled
to an annuity.”

In
other words, because Andrew McCabe was legally fired “for
cause” (remember, McCabe was
fired on recommendation of the F.B.I.'s own Office of
Professional Responsibility) and will most likely just lose the
“accrual” into his
pension of what would have been seven and a half more years worth of pay...the
pay between the age he did retire...as in 49 and a half...and the age at which
he should have retired...as in age 57...if he wanted to receive his
full pension.

Andrew
McCabe knew exactly what he was doing when he suddenly took the
cowardly way out and retired before his full “accrual”
time was reached for he counted
on this move helping him to set the stage for his playing the
victim...a victim he claims continues to be publicly bullied by the very man who, unfortunately
in his eyes, became the president...but I say by the very man who much to McCabe's chagrin is right in what he says and in what he tweets.

A true
Hillary loyalist no matter his voting card saying he's a registered
Republican, Andrew McCabe was and remains a so-called "partisan hack" and a man with a grudge to
bear. And the fact that this grudge festered, grew, and morphed over
time into actions bordering on if not outright being treason, resulted
in his willingly and knowingly not only tampering with but actually
trying to sway an ongoing investigation in favor of one Hillary
Clinton, the woman who should have been indicted on numerous charges
long ago.

And I would not be surprised if for his efforts Andrew
McCabe is not somehow secretly and "under the table" monetarily rewarded by that very
woman, after all he and his good buddy James Comey did try to help "fix" not only an investigation but an election for her as well.
